I teach a college level physics course

BULL ****! no chance in hell. For *IF* you did, you *WOULD* know the physics
and math involved in a catenary, which -- obvious from your posts you do not.

knock it off, gene. you are way too drunk. sleep it off for a couple days and
then come back.

hoary, go back to dreaming about your glory days racing wooden dinghies back in
the 1930's and all the junior high school girls swooning over you.

Please show the quote where I said I used an all chain rode.


the statement was not that you actually use anything at all to anchor, but
rather that you stupidly argue that all chain rode will not jerk the anchor
and/or deck chocks loose when the wind and waves pick up.




Yawn, yet another classic Jax-Ass who gives a **** string of posts.

You still have that crappy little sailbote?


that is PORTA-bote, not sailbote, and no I didn't buy the sail kit to go with
it. and it is not crappy either. the Porta-bote is a fine dinghy, much better
than my Achilles dinghy.

You posted on numerous occasions that I put others
at risk by anchoring with all chain rode.

gene, what the hell did you study in college? first you claim you studied
physics (obviously a lie) and now you are trying to claim to understand
English. did you go to a technical college where English was taught as a
second language.

what I said was you use all chain you endanger others with your reckless
behavior. Clearly (to native speakers of English) that statement is assumptive
rather than normative.

dry out for a few days, gene, and then come back.

Demonstrating, once again, that no one has ever won an argument with
the village idiot.

Of course you don't want to even try. Obviously, by your statement below, you
don't have a clew of the forces involved. (dumb cluck that you are, you are
not even aware that the math and physics of the for forces on the catenary of
nylon rode is the very same as a chain rode).

What an asshole.
You obviously do not understand why you should pay out 4xdepth of chain.
A little understanding of force vectors then explains why the chain
cannot be pulled tight.

Please get a clue and learn not to top-post.

Chain lying on the bottom is not a catenary. It is a variable load
in equilibrium with the forces acting on the hull. It only becomes
a catenary when the last link has lifted from the bottom and the
anchor is about to break out. If this point is ever reached it means
that the chain was too light and/or too short.

Of course, we could consider the case of the idiot who pays out only
enough chain to reach the bottom and then crowds on sail in a
storm. In this case the chain may become tight or the anchor may
break out. Darwin will probably then do the world a favour by removing
said idiot from the gene pool.

gene, you become a fraud when you have had too much to drink. knock it off for
a few days and you will probably feel better.

Physics, indeed!

yup, that is where the physics and mathematics of catinaries is taught.


No sh*t! I've had a lot of math, physics, chemistry, etc...... but
I've never heard of a "catinaries." What the hell is that???

Oh, wow, if you mean catenary..... shame on you.... you already know
how chain "stretches." JAX, are you trolling again??? Shame on you.

You should have sat through a few intro classes of
logic, instead.

never took any *intro* courses in logic at the college level, but take quite
a
number of upper level logic courses. (had the *intro* well covered in high
school)


I didn't took (sic) any upper level courses until I had taken enough
English to understand them. You shouldn't have either.

*IF* ever were true, you plainly have lost most of what you may have ever
learned.

At least that is the conclusion to be drawn if we take your posts as evidence.

I know, gene. We all know.

gene? English as third language in that "technical" college you went to?

don't drive drunk, gene. don't drive at all if that is the only way you can
avoid driving drunk.

also, don't anchor.

You posted on numerous occasions that I put others

You said,

"gene tells us *he* thinks lifting a 35# anchor is too much for him
physically and therefore he is happy to endanger the lives of others
by his reckless use of all chain rode in windy wavey conditions."

"are you willing to go to jail for injurying someone and/or damaging
shoreline when your boat anchor breaks loose and/or you tear your deck
chocks loose due to strong winds and waves?

"dude, you use the same justification for you criminal behavior
anchoring as did drunk drivers 20 years ago."

That doesn't sound much like, "what I said was you use all chain
......" to me. It is just another intentional misquote.

Have you found even ONE example of ANY accident EVER caused by all
chain rode??? Hmmmm? Willing to concede defeat yet, are you going
to keep posting your unsupported nonsense????













Gawd, you're easy...
